I am using 2.14.2 and use CTL+C & CTL+V all the time without any surprises; it simply works.
I suspect that you are using 2.14.2 on Windows 7 computer as user who does not have Administrator provileges. If that is the case, by default, R will not have access to the clipboard, hence the failures. Try starting R as Administrator, check Copy and Copy + Paste, and update this thread. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
